DEAD NEW WORLD

Zombies aren’t mindless anymore.

Before the world fell into chaos, the undead existed only in the imagination. Now, more of them walk the earth than living. Zombies move about freely, while humans entomb themselves inside concrete barricades to stay alive. 

All that, while the leader of a powerful cult - known only as Reverend - becomes the next threat to the rebuilding United States. Believing zombies to be God’s latest creation, making humanity obsolete, he wants to give every man, woman, and child the chance to become one. With his combined army of humans and zombies, he may well get his wish.

Best friends Holt and Ambrose went up against the Reverend once. Holt lost a foot and a zombie bit Ambrose…though he survived the virus, only to become a human-zombie hybrid, reviled by the living and unwelcome among the dead. When the Reverend kidnaps the woman Holt loves, the race is on to save her from a fate worse than death.


My Thoughts:

I want to preface this review with this fact: I really do not like zombie anything.  Yet, somehow, I found myself having a hard time putting this zombie-fied story down.  Told from the perspective of Holt, the reader is taken on, what feels, a wild and almost out of this world adventure.

The story starts out by giving the reader some background information about the leading men - two best friends in the military working to protect the humans from the zombies.  On the first mission the reader sees, both Holt and Ambrose are injured - Holt losing his leg and Ambrose bitten by a zombie.

Fast forward to a few years later and the reader is taken on this ride with Holt and Ambrose as they go on a mission to save the "damzel" and Holt's love, Nancy.  However, that is not the only reason for their mission, Ambrose wants to get revenge on the man who turned him into a monster: The Reverend.  The rest of the story is all about their missions, and that is where I will end it as I do not want to give anything else away *wink*.  

If you are looking for an action packed, zombie-filled, sitting on the edge of your seat, great read, then this is the book for you!

Ryan Hill
Growing up, Ryan Hill used to spend his time reading and writing instead of doing homework. This resulted in an obsession with becoming a writer, but also a gross incompetence in the fields of science and mathematics. A graduate of North Carolina State University, Ryan has been a film critic for over five years. He lives in Raleigh, NC, with his dog/shadow Maggie. Ryan also feels strange about referring to himself in the third person.
